Unauthorized Psychologist's Controversial Practice

Published: 2024-10-11

A Norwegian psychologist, stripped of his license in 2020 for committing sexual offenses against animals, has been practicing without authorization.

Despite losing his license, he secured a job at Nav in 2022, which later discovered his lack of credentials.

The Health Supervision Authority in Norway has reported him twice, but police investigations were dropped due to insufficient evidence.

The psychologist continued offering remote consultations from Norway, even while listed as a practitioner in the U.

S. His unauthorized practice raises concerns about regulatory oversight and the challenges of enforcing professional standards across borders.
